This is a battle for Survival for the two clubs involved and this match could be the difference between going down to second tier and staying put in La Liga.

Granada are just a point above the drop zone, they in 17th position with 30 points while their visitors Levante are in 19th position with 28points, 2 points adrift them. Both teams will be hoping for a win to get them self out of danger for the time being.

Levante have stayed in the bottom zone for a long while but after beating Espanyol in their last game, they will be in good spirit and they will be hoping to have a repeat of such outing so as to get them out of the danger zone.

Both teams are under pressure but will likely be playing with caution. Levante seems to be with more spirit than Granada after wining their last game, but the first team to make a break in the game might go on to win the clash.

The game would go down to who wants it more but for now it seems like a draw to me. There are bound to be less goals in this match as both teams will be playing with caution.
